Milosh - iii
(!K7 Records)
CHILL-OUT music may not be the top of your list of cutting-edge genres, but some believe that there's something to be said for soothing tunes and laid-back beats come the morning after, right?
Well, these seekers of mellow musical mecca weren't banking on the arrival of Michael Milosh, a classically trained Canadian who has crowned himself king of the ring with this, the aural equivalent of his year-long stay on a Thai island.
Unfortunately, Milosh is said to have "found himself" while he was away - and it's pretty dull stuff. This is the third record and, as its title suggests, it's all about Milosh - vacuous, rootless and devoid of substance.
From lacklustre opener Awful Game through nauseatingly twee Gentle Samui and unfeasibly self-important closer The World, the whole record sounds like it might be more suited to soundtracking Holiday 2009 than the vestiges of a hangover.
